April 2011

Instead of thinking about Tax day, get excited that some of the best spring & summer Farmers’ Markets are about to pop-up all around you. Most of them run

May-September and they all have a different vibe! My favorite in Marin County is The Fairfax Farmer’s Market (Weds from 4-8pm). It’s held in Bolinas Park under the Redwood trees. Small and intimate, it always feels like a small festival with live music, face painting for the kids with blankets and picnics abound. Like most markets, you can buy dinner from local vendors on the spot or take some goodies home to prepare.

My advice to you: bring a limited amount of CASH to spend or you’ll break the budget with all the goodness. I like bringing 20 bucks! Start planning your spring and summer meal planning around a weekly trip to the market now. The Fairfax Farmer’s Market Opening Day is Wednesday, May 4, 2011!
